precision lightning strikes
brought down the aircraft
& their alien pilots seventy-
five miles north of roswell
the story was released
to the press as the truth
only to be redacted
by the military the next day
and that ladies & gentlemen
is how conspiracy theories
are born & perpetuated
via eerily mysterious reasons

they told me to take the hush money
said they wanted me to forget
all about the aliens
I met at the tropicana
aliens I repeated
I thought they were mexicans
disguised as cubans
dropping into vegas
by way of area fifty-one
it’s a bundle they said
go ahead and count it if you like
but there’s fifty grand there
immediately I imagined
I’d never see them aliens again
then wondered
if the money was any good
